The building, which sits on our Brackenhurst Campus, is part of a major investment plan to improve the facilities, teaching and research for students.

The RIBA Regional Building of the Year Awards were presented at a ceremony at the RIBA’s headquarters in London on Tuesday this week.

The awards panel commented that: “The Lyth sits elegantly into its context of listed buildings and designed landscapes, while giving a centre and focus to the burgeoning campus of NTU. It has raised the bar for future development.”

It's the latest in award wins for the building, as earlier this month it was one of five projects which received a 2022 RIBA East Midlands Award. All regional winners will now be considered for a highly-coveted RIBA National Award in recognition of their architectural excellence. These will be announced next month so fingers crossed!
